Arc System Works and Aksys, please bring Guilty Gear XX Accent Core to PS3/360/PC!

[Jam-Kiske]

Bother the Aksys people to tell ArcSys. Tis all we can really do.

[ZéroGén]

tis all we can done...i would play GG online until my children had kidz......

[Boss]

Guilty Gear XX AC online via PS3/360 is all that it would take to revive the scene. I don't think there is a PS3/360 owner that would ignore GGXXAC being available for online play. I know I wouldn't. Me not being to play people when I wanted is what made me start to lose interest. PLEASE MAKE GGXXAC ONLINE FOR PS3/360!!!!

[Frank The Tank]

This needs to happen. Srsly.

[Shazay]

+ 1 for the cause.

[holy diver]

WE NEED GG AC ONLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sir_arthur]

+1 i would love to have it on my PS3 along with MvC2, BB, HDR and SFIV

[Justice7541]

GGAC online is a definite must. Hell, it's still more popular than BB in most places. It does need the 5-frame buffer, maybe for online only, or FRCing will be stupid as hell.

[Tsaikotyk]

+1 for the cause.

[Soniti]

Aksys does localizations, not ports. Arc System Works would have to decide to port it first. Despite that, a skeptical +1 to the cause if it were to somehow happen!

[A.X.I.S.]

i wouldnt be surprised if they make a new guilty gear fighter before importing ac+. but for the lulz. +1.

[Krochos]

Lol I want ACP online play so I can show off my amazing slayer power. I wanna see how ppl around the nation use characters so I can advance my own ability +1 Sorry GGXX# but ur online can only go so far

[Soothesayer]

BB's netcode + GGAC+ = EPITOME OF AWESOME

[B.L. Pancho]

I would like to direct this next post directly towards aksys games and Arc System works, with the hopes that they could potentially read this and make some sense of what Im about to state:

Im sure one could say an almost infinite amount of positive things regarding just how much the community for this game would appreciate and support a release of Accent Core through the use of XBL and PSN, but since I suspect that most of this thread has been spent discussing that very aspect of this topic, I will instead focus on providing good reasons why this would be a good venture for Aksys besides overwhelming fan support, because the die hard GG players here have likely already voiced that enough.

Let me start with the my central thesis: Downloadable games of the niche variety are proving to be an extremely succesful venture for many companies looking to provide these types of experiences to the more hardcore players. One needs only to look in the direction of games such as Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, Mega Man 9, Shadow Complex, Prince of Persia Classic and Bionic Commando: ReArmed and many others to realize that producing downloadable games, be they ports or overhauls, is economic and produces great enthusiasm amongst the niche crowd of gamers who adore these types of games. To be even more specific, the downloadable fighting game "vector" of the downloadable world has proven to be extremely successful, with HD Remix having achieved the highest sales of any downloadable game thus far, and Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 closing that gap at breakneck speeds.

This formula has thus far proven to lead to great results for Capcom, but they are not the only ones capable of producing great fighting games, as can be seen simply by looking around these forums and taking note of just how passionate the players are about the fighting games created by Aksys/Arc System Works, namely the Guilty Gear franchise. This past year or so, as well as the year that is coming, has been affectionately known as the second great era of fighting games, with good reason. Many new fighters have been released, and several older ones were repackaged and made new again, and I think it is time that Aksys gave that opportunity to Guilty Gear, the game that truly is your greatest piece of work.

Right now people are really enjoying Blazblue, an overall fantastic fighter and one that has been embraced wholeheartedly by the GG community....BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN PEOPLE DON'T STILL WANT TO ENJOY GUILTY GEAR GAMES!. While it is eassily understood that there may be many different reasons why Arc systems has temporarily chosen not to continue the franchise, I think it shouldn't be beyond reason to provide a new format on which to enjoy what is considered the best iteration of the franchise thus far: Accent Core. While BlazBlue has a strong tournament scene, Guilty Gear still has a strong following in america and is still a top ten competitive game in Japanese Arcades as you well know. However here in america, despite having an enthusiastic following (one I have had the pleasure of experiencing firsthand), the lack of an Arcade scene makes it difficult for players to justify continuing to play GGAC despite their inmense desire to do so, because most main fighters are being played over the PS3 and 360.

For all of the reasons I have mentioned above, it is quite obvious that there is virtually no good reason why Arc/Aksys wouldn't want to provide a simple (or maybe slightly upgraded:eng101:) port through the use of XBL/PSN, which has proven to be such an easy yet such a wildly successful way for companies to provide great niche games to the hardcore communities that would happily pay for them just to enjoy them again.

Thanks for your time.

P.S. Please throw the GGPO netcode, its amazing!

[accent20]

True that!!! im in need of a disciple in guilty cause everyone is stoned when playing this with me.......!! Its like half baked meets grandma's Boy.

[King of Hearts]

Im all for this idea im a noob and when i play online i would love to see how bad I get dominated on so I can take notes/ Oh and he slams my character for the win and taunts me genius genius must write down

[maraxusofkelds]

Right now people are really enjoying Blazblue, an overall fantastic fighter and one that has been embraced wholeheartedly by the GG community

LOLOLOL.

I agree with all your other points though.

[Silmerion]

Do it, Aksys. +1

[Heidern98]

I completely support this idea. We all know a new GG game is a long way off but if Aksys wants to keep that fan base, they should do something relatively simple and profitable like this imo. This would breath life into the scene again which GG desperatly needs. The game has been ported to other systems I see no reason why this would be hard. Add some netcode, take out Eddie and we good =D Please here us guys. We NEED this.

[Jam-Kiske]

They have AC for the Wii for Christ's sakes....

[Majold]

I'd be quite happy to buy a 2d GG game for the 360.

[ThePretender]

They have AC for the Wii for Christ's sakes....

Except Aksys said on a podcast that they couldn't include netcode for it as it would require too much to have lagless play. Trust me, I was bummed to find out no netplay would exist for AC+.

[Sileh]

@OP, yes! AC for PC/consoles would be so fricking great, it would make the company money like they wouldn't believe. There is a niche genre out there that would pounce on it like crazy. I'm confused how people can emulate games for PC, because they want the game so badly, but the companies themselves cannot do the same?? I'd imagine it would be best to make it a download for 360, psn, pc, so they would not have to pay for box design, or worry about over stocking stores. Sorry for going on a tangent, it's just so easy because I say this all the time!! There are so many games out there which should be on PC that aren't.

[Alex073088]

If they bring gg to next gen systems they need to upgrade it visually and make it look like blazblue that be the game of the century!

[AsterLudkweiz]

Signed. The GG community is so spread out in america it desperately needs online play.
